Question

The picture shows a battery connected to two wires in parallel. Both wires are made of the same material and are of the same length, but the diameter of wire A is twice the diameter of wire B. (Select true or false for the following)


The resistance of wire B is four times as large as the resistance of wire A.

The voltage drop across wire B is larger than the voltage drop across wire A.

The power dissipated in wire A is 16 times the power dissipated in wire B.

The curent through the battery is five times larger than the current through wire B.

The resistance of wire B is twice as large as the resistance of wire A.

Explanation / Answer

true false becasue both have the same voltage as they are in parallel true true false because its 4 times resistance of A
